“My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me”

Bob Moore will again be teaching from the book Final Words from the Cross by Adam Hamilton. Chapter 4 will be the lesson this week entitled “My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me”.

The Bible verses are Mark 15:33-36a. At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—–which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? “When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah. “One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink.

Luke 23:32 – Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed.

Luke 23:39-43 – One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God?,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Dr Jim Mcormick will be our speaker this Sunday, and his topic will be “To Be Content”

Verses: Philippians 4:10-13
10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

CUC Newsletter – February 10, 2023

By Doug Tatom on February 10, 2023

One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” – Matthew 22:35-36

Dr Jim Mcormick will be our speaker this Sunday, and his topic will be “The Main Thing”, and the text is Matthew 22:35-40:

New International Version
35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

The Commons Project Update

February 10, 2023

Way back in November 2019, we were asked to look at the possibility of improving the Commons area. As a recently added member to the Board of Trustees, I knew whatever would be asked of me would involve time and effort, but God wants us to use our skills and abilities for the benefit of others.

As a design engineer, I could see great possibilities. Richard Lowenthal provided motivation and encouragement. He also recommended very experienced contractor Charles Curtis to give us a keen sense of reality as we moved through the design development, then into selecting an architect, engineers, a landscape architect, and a well-qualified contractor. Vince Grosse was added to the team to keep a steady eye on the cost, set financial objectives, and hold us to them. Lori Walsh, RUMC’s Business Administrator, has been with us since the beginning and an active participant tracking our development. Tom Davis provided oversight and key direction.

As you may remember, we made many presentations—to the Board of Stewards, the Board of Trustees, our Adult Sunday School classes, the congregation at large, and at the Central North District level. The response to the presentations was very positive, and we received approval to develop a fund-raising campaign. In just four months, Mike Picchi and Brian Medley helped the team raise $1.1 million to fund about half of the project.

Mary Karras came aboard with her extensive banking experience and guided us in securing a credit line with an interest-only construction loan to be available when needed. Finally, we received a Land Disturbance Permit from the City of Roswell, and we will start our project this month!

The first step will be relocating the pavilion to the northwest corner and removing the Scout Hut. Next up will be installing the underground storm water handling system and grading the site; then laying out the pathway, ramps, and activity areas. Care was taken to provide ADA stair-free access from the Sanctuary across the Commons to the Chapel building parking lot. The concrete and brick paver walk areas will be added after electrical lines are placed, along with lighting and Wi-Fi. The final step will be landscaping, including trees, bushes, and flowers.

Depending on the weather, it will take 6-8 months to complete the Commons Project, with an August 1 target date. We will provide weekly progress updates, and there will be observation areas around the site.

Wednesday, March 1 at 4:30 p.m. has been selected for our Ground Breaking Celebration, and you are invited to come and participate. Wednesday Night Supper will be available immediately afterward in Fellowship Hall. Be sure to mark the date!

Thank you for your confidence in us, your encouragement, interest, and financial support. This project could not have happened without you!

Jim Gebhardt, Richard Lowenthal, Charles Curtis, Vince Grosse, Mary Karras, Lori Walsh, and Tom Davis

The Commons Project Update

On February 1, RUMC received our Land Disturbance Permit (LDP) from the City of Roswell, which marks the initial step in construction. Look for site fencing to be erected and a new foundation to be poured for the relocation of the pavilion to the northwest corner of the site; power and water has been cut off to the former Scout Hut, in preparation for its demolition.

Depending on the weather, we hope for this initial project completion in six to eight months. The start of construction will formally be marked with a ground-breaking event to be announced shortly. This has been a long time coming, and the Commons Committee wants to thank you for your support, donations, and patience. Watch for more updates as we move forward!

Remember that we are operating out of the RUMC Fellowship Hall for the next few months. Drive around to the back of the B Building and you’ll see the double-doors by the handicap spaces. That’s us!

We will collect items the day of the pantry 12-4:00 PM. (We’re not collecting this Sunday because it is New Year’s Day). On January 3rd, we’re asking people to drop items off at the Fellowship Hall because we will operate out of the FH for the next three months (because it’s so cold)!

We always need lots of help bagging the produce, which is generally 12:00-3:00 PM. If members of CUC would like to participate, just come on in during that time! They don’t need to sign up.
